|Report | |

|Section |I. |Background |

On January 10, 2020, the Connecticut Superior Court signed the Phase IV Stipulation and Order in the Sheff v. O’Neill case, approving the agreement among the state defendants, the plaintiffs and the City of Hartford as an Order of the Court through June 30, 2022. The Phase IV Stipulation and Order (Phase IV Stipulation) articulates a complex and detailed strategic blueprint to increase opportunities for integrated, high quality educational opportunities for Hartford-resident students and students throughout Connecticut. The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) is committed to furthering the goals outlined in the Agreement and anticipates the availability of approximately $4 million in grant funding to improve programming and attractiveness of choice options.

The Phase IV Stipulation represents the most recent compromise agreement among the parties to the Sheff v. O’Neill desegregation education case, which stems from a 1996 decision by the Connecticut Supreme Court (“Court”) that Hartford-resident minority students are entitled to attend school in reduced isolation settings as a matter of educational equity under the Connecticut State Constitution. The Court did not specify a goal, remedy, or timetable to resolve the problem, but, instead, assigned responsibility for reducing isolation to the legislative and executive branches. In response to that obligation, the state has engaged extensive human and fiscal resources over the last 25 years to address such isolation through voluntary participation in interdistrict programming, including interdistrict magnet schools authorized by Section 10-264l of the Connecticut General Statutes. Interdistrict Magnet Schools in the Sheff Region are public schools operated by Hartford Public Schools, school districts within the Sheff Region and/or third parties or a consortium of school districts that offer high quality, themed education options for Hartford-resident students and suburban students to support racial, ethnic and economic diversity goals. (The Sheff Region includes the school districts of Avon, Bloomfield, Canton, East Granby, East Hartford, East Windsor, Ellington, Farmington, Glastonbury, Granby, Hartford, Manchester, Newington, Rocky Hill, Simsbury, South Windsor, Suffield, Vernon, West Hartford, Wethersfield, Windsor, and Windsor Locks.)

The plaintiffs and the state have entered into several sequential stipulated agreements since 2003 spelling out certain goals for reducing racial and ethnic isolation in Hartford and the steps the state would take to achieve such goals. Interdistrict magnet schools have and continue to provide the primary means for reducing isolation pursuant to the various agreements among the parties. In fiscal year 2020, more than 18,600 Connecticut students attended Sheff magnet schools, including over 8,200 Hartford-resident students. This represents over 44% of all Hartford-resident students.

The Phase IV Stipulation reflects the parties’ commitment to advancing educational equity and expanding high quality, integrated opportunities for Hartford-resident students and students throughout Connecticut. This Interdistrict Magnet School Academic and Social Support Grant seeks to increase high quality programming at interdistrict magnet schools in the Sheff Region.

|Section |II. |Purpose |

The purpose of the Interdistrict Magnet School Academic and Social Support Grant is to support Sheff interdistrict magnet schools in effective and meaningful ways to advance high quality programming that increases integrated educational opportunities and supports students and student learning through the challenges from the pandemic. The grant seeks to enhance programming by supporting programs that address the social and emotional needs of students, enhanced extracurricular opportunities for students, programs to increase attractiveness of the magnets, and increased professional learning opportunities for staff.

|Section |III. |Eligibility |

Within available appropriations, the commissioner may make grants to the entities listed in C.G.S. 10-264l (c)(10) operating the interdistrict magnet schools listed on Appendix A to the Phase IV Stipulation. Applications may be made by the interdistrict magnet schools on behalf of the operating entities.

Each applicant interdistrict magnet school must enroll both Hartford and suburban-resident students and must submit a proposal that outlines the strategies, actions and/or programs that the operator will implement to improve compliance outcomes, support students and student learning, and advance high quality programming. Operators that do not submit a complete grant application by the application due date on or before 4:00 p.m., on March 15, 2021, will not be eligible for funding pursuant to this grant opportunity.

|Section |IV. |Funding |

It is anticipated that there will be up to $4 million available to support the Interdistrict Magnet School Academic and Social Support Grant. This funding is in addition to other funding provided by CSDE and through other sources. The distribution of the grant awards will be determined by CSDE based on the number and content of the proposals and will be communicated to recipients via an award notice.

|Section |V. |Allowable Activities and Costs |

Allowable costs include expenditures which support the aforementioned purpose set forth in Section II and are authorized via the application process based on the applicant’s budget submission. Activities that may be funded through this grant include, but are not limited to:

• programs or resources that support the social/emotional needs of students;

• programs to support student re-engagement and specialized extra-curricular experiences (e.g., culinary arts, robotic clubs, internships, tutorial services, etc.);

• curriculum development and/or educational programming to increase the attractiveness of the magnet program; and

• professional learning to support high quality educational programming.

This grant is intended to provide immediate support to address the aforementioned needs. Allowable costs include costs that support the grant priorities and are expendable in the fiscal year, including, for example, costs for staff and tutor stipends; substitute teachers to provide release time for professional learning; instructional supplies and materials, including software; contracts for academic and/or social support services by an outside agency or community partner; extracurricular programs/club costs; program enhancements expendable within the fiscal year; and professional learning and school climate services. Funding from this program should not be directed to longer term commitments that extend beyond the grant award period.

| Section |VI. |Grant Period |

The CSDE will communicate grant awards to successful applicants by March 26, 2021, with the expectation that funding will be utilized or earmarked by June 30, 2021.

|Section |VII. |Submission Requirements |

Grant applications should respond fully and accurately to the application requirements and must include, at a minimum: (1) the need that will be addressed with the funding; (2) a description of the program and timeline for implementation; (3) intended outcomes; (4) how the proposal meets objectives of the grant, and (5) a breakdown of associated costs.

Funds will be awarded to eligible districts, subject to availability, based on the criteria described in this grant application. The CSDE reserves the right to request additional information from applicants prior to making the award, including information about both program and cost effectiveness. Pursuant to this application, the CSDE will only award grants to applicants that articulate proposals that describe activities designed to support student learning and social emotional well-being, improve programming and attractiveness of specific choice options, and advance the state’s efforts to reduce racial, ethnic, and economic isolation in the Sheff Region.

| Section |IX. |Freedom of Information Act |

All of the information contained in a proposal submitted in response to this Interdistrict Magnet School Academic and Support Grant solicitation is subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), C.G.S. § 1-200 et seq.

Recipients of awards pursuant to this Interdistrict Magnet School Academic and Support Grant maintain management control of the grant. While CSDE staff may be consulted for their expertise, they will not be directly responsible for the selection of subgrantees or vendors nor will they be directly involved in the expenditure and payment of the funds.
